Q: How many strips do I need, and can they be joined together?
A: Each strip measures 49 x 14 x 2.7 cm. The strips feature a linkable design, so you can connect multiple strips side by side or end to end to cover larger garden beds, fences, ledges, or any other surface you wish to protect.
Q: Are these prickle strips safe for my pets and children?
A: Absolutely. The spikes are made from soft, flexible ABS plastic and are designed to be uncomfortable — not harmful. They pose no danger to animals, children, or adults who may accidentally come into contact with them.
